stimulated - Story 139740 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The note was short and sweet, taped to the fridge: "Moving to Florida! See you soon (maybe) - Love, Alex." Liam’s stomach dropped. A strange heat washed over him. He felt suddenly jittery, like he’d drunk too much coffee.

He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers tangling. He picked up his phone, then put it down. He walked to the window, staring out at the familiar street.

He needed to DO something. He opened the fridge and grabbed a beer, cracking the top with a snap. The cold liquid didn’t soothe the odd buzzing sensation he felt in his chest.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
